What happens if the Super Bowl ends in a tie?

Super Bowl overtime functions in much the same way as it does during the regular season. Playoff games cannot end in a tie, and neither can the Super Bowl. After the opening possession, any score can still end the game, but if it goes scoreless through an entire overtime period, they will move into a second.

Has there ever been a 1 point safety?

There is a one-point safety, and it is highly unlikely. As in, it has never happened in the NFL, unlikely. Technically, it also could have been awarded if the offensive team fumbled the ball into the endzone, and the defense illegally batted the ball out of bounds, giving the offense a one-point safety.

These teams put just a single field goal on the board in what would become the lowest scoring game in modern NFL history. It was no surprise that Pittsburgh scored that field goal since Miami was 0-10 at the time.
